E-Prescription for trouble.(LETTERS)(Letter to the editor)
I have been trying to use an e-prescription program, but there are several problems ("Feds Push E-Prescribing With Medicare Bonuses," Nov. 15, 2008, p. 14):
* Controlled medications cannot be issued through an electronic prescription.
* It does not save time.
* If the software is going to cost $2,000-$3,000, where is the incentive to switch, especially since the "bonus" for switching to e-prescribing is going to be $2,000-$3,000?!
* Not all pharmacies like e-prescriptions.
